Aave Horizon adapter
Venue mockWhat's actually happening
When you "deposit into Aave" on testnet, your USDC actually goes into MockAavePool, an Atrium-deployed contract that follows the exact Aave V3 interface. It mints aUSDC 1:1 and pretends to earn 5 bps yield per call.
Why
Aave V3 is not deployed on Arbitrum Sepolia in a usable form. We built the mock so the demo flow (deposit, accrue interest, withdraw) walks end to end on testnet.
When it becomes real
Mainnet flip (Year 2). Real Aave V3 lives on Arbitrum mainnet.
